Zippy's creator and his amazing sketchbook show,
By A Customer
This review is from: Get Me a Table Without Flies, Harry (Paperback)
Probably one of the oddest books I've ever seen. Bill Griffith takes his sketchbook along as he travels to Ireland, Italy, Puerto Vallarta and Calistoga Springs, and records what he sees: tourist T-shirts, food, mountains, alcoholic drinks, antacids of the world -- anything that happens. Fantagraphic takes these sketches and reproduces them, page by page, and that's it. Zippy appears sometimes in the background, but this is more Griffy's travel diary, a bit of memoir. A writer named Colin McInroe writes an introductory essay about surrealism that is funny and informative, and explains why Griffy sees the world the way he does. I've read this book several times, and I'm sure I'll read it again. It makes me wish I had a sketchbook of my own, even though I draw a paycheck, I can't draw a line.
